I am 4 years post op and the last couple of weeks I've felt a strange feeling in my left breast. When bending down I feel like my implant is moving, also flexing my peck muscle and lifting my arm it feels strange, not painful but almost like the muscle is pulling. I have my implants under the muscle. Otherwise no pain and the breasts are soft and looking normal.

Answer: Could a pulling sensation and implant movement be a sign of bottoming out? Hi. Both your implants have bottomed out. This may happen due to several factors but it basically means there is not enough support on the lower pole to keep the implants above the breast fold. Bottoming out happens more often when either the breast fold is altered during surgery and or when the muscles that cover the top part of the implants push down on the implants.

Answer: Could a pulling sensation and implant movement be a sign of bottoming out? (photos) Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. It does appear that your implants have bottomed out with the increased length of skin from your nipple to breast fold, high-riding nipple, and lack of upper pole breast volume relative to the lower pole. You can have this repaired through a revision breast procedure. Hope this helps.
